AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Philippe Vanhell men's wristwatch, presented here in a decidedly vintage style. The case features a classic round shape, topped with a bezel with engraved numbers from 10 to 60, typical of retro sports models. The light-colored dial features a double graduation: hour display in black Arabic numerals (1 to 12 and 13 to 24) as well as a peripheral minute track. The slender, contrasting hands make it easy to read the time. The inscription "Philippe Vanhell" is perfectly legible in the center of the dial.

The visible bracelet is composed of large metal links with a matte finish, with a brushed appearance that accentuates the masculine and timeless character of the piece. The links are articulated for comfortable wear and a secure fit on the wrist. There is a fluted side crown, easily accessible for setting the time.

The bezel has a distinct relief and visible markers, reinforcing the sporty and retro style of the watch. The finishes of the case and bracelet suggest a robust design, faithful to men's watches from the 80s and 90s. No decorative motif is visible, which highlights the utilitarian and elegant side of this men's watch.

This piece is photographed on a blue display case, which is not included in the description of the item but highlights the cool hue of the metal and the contrast with the light dial. No major defects are visible on the front or the bracelet, apart from some light signs of use, typical of a used watch.

Condition

Used watch, sold as is. Some visible signs of wear on the bracelet and case, without impacting the legibility of the dial. The functioning of the movement is not tested in the photo.

Did you know? The Philippe Vanhell brand, although less known than some big names in Swiss watchmaking, offers models with a design inspired by sports watches of the 80s and 90s. Watches with dual time display (12/24h) were particularly appreciated for their legibility and functionality, especially in professional and military circles.
